Hello Thomas,

first I named it googletest, but since it is named gtest upstream and
unzip produces a directory with this name I decided to changed it.

Yes, it is, but when there is nothing to install? Maybe it's also
possible to compile it to a .so, but I am not sure if it's worth the
effort. This way we can use googletest on the target and, when the
testuites are not instaled, do not waste any space there.

BTW: Running googletest on the target out of eclipse works well.

That would be nice.

I didn't find any. Of course it would be nicer. As far as I understand
the documentation one shall point the compiler and linker to the build
directory.

Thanx for the review. I'll provide a fixed patch later.
